SALINA

NAME: Salina
COUNTY: Apache
ROADS: 2WD
LEGAL INFO: T30N, R22E
CLIMATE: Hot Summers; occasional snow in Winter
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Accessible all year 'round
COMMENTS: Located near some very impressive scenery and rock pinnacles; in fact, the name Salina is a corruption of the Navajo word 'tselani', meaning 'standing rock'.
REMAINS: The walls of a major mercantile (?) and stores; some abandoned single-family houses as well.
Salina appears to have been a small farming settlement which was recently abandoned, and probably originally founded due to a nearby spring. The town's hinterland still has many residents, so the abandonment of the town is a bit of a mystery. Submitted by: Kurt Wenner
